Thumbprint Mother's Day Love Bug Cards For Kids To Make!

These easy and fun cards come together quickly in just a few simple steps — all you need is some paper, ink pads and your imagination to bring them to life!

Craft Supplies:

Directions:

  • First click the link listed in the supply list and print out the mason jar card template on white cardstock. One printable makes FOUR cards at a time. Please only use our file for personal use.
  • Use a paper trimmer to trim out each section and make FOUR cards total.
  • Adhere each cut out piece to a single cardstock card front.
  • Next open your ink pads up.
  • Have children place their thumb on the ink pad, then in the center of the mason jar design. Follow that up by adding two more thumbprints for “wings” on the side of the first one.
  • Repeat the thumbprint step on each card.
  • Use baby wipes to remove excess ink off of fingers before washing hands completely at the sink.
  • Once done, they can draw on their embellishments with various markers to bring their thumbprint love bug to life.
  • Add other embellishments you see fit. I highly encourage small sticker embellishments on the antennas!
  • Then the last step is to sign their name on the front of the card and write a sweet message inside before they gift it away to someone special on Mother’s Day!

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
